Framasoft Jul 31, 2024

Framasoft currently hosts more than 1,200 Nextcloud instances, for associations, activist groups, unions, etc.

But getting to grips with Nextcloud without support can be... complicated!

Framasoft is doing its bit (no pun intended) with publishing "Intros", a Nextcloud App for integrating tutorials into the Nextcloud interface.

Interview with Val, Framasoft intern, here https://framablog.org/2024/07/31/intros-a-nextcloud-app-to-help-you-get-to-grips-with-framaspace/

Intros, a Nextcloud app to help you get to grips with Framaspace

The Framaspace project currently hosts a cloud environment (files, calendars, contacts, wiki, kanban, etc.) for more than 1,200 associations and groups. That's as many instances of the Nextcloud free software. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to get to grips with Nextcloud, despite the documentation, forums and so on. So Framasoft decided to get an intern,...

My new blog post is now up!

You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code

I always see:

people being told they can contribute to KDE with C++/QML
people being told they can contribute to KDE without code

But I don't often see:

people being told that they can contribute to KDE with code that is not C++

I like C++, QML, and even CMake, but you might not be interested in them or you might just not be willing to spend time learning another language, and that's perfectly fine.

In this blog post I list a few KDE projects that you might not know about that might be written in your preferred language or in a specialized format you have expertise or interest in.

By far, the most popular programming language actively used in KDE other than the expected languages is Python.

We also have stuff that would interest sysadmins (containers), packagers (snap/flatpak) and web developers.

Not everything made by KDE uses C++. This is probably obvious to some people, but it’s worth mentioning nevertheless. And I don’t mean this as just “well duh, KDE uses QtQuick which is written with C++ and QML”. I also don’t mean this as “well duh, Qt has a lot of bindings to other languages”. I mean explicitly “KDE has tools written primarily in certain languages and specialized formats”. Note that I said “specialized formats”.

PSA: delete your old Photobucket account now! Don’t put it off.

You know those emails you’ve been getting for a year from Photobucket threatening to delete your old account and you were like lol who cares and ignored them?

Turns out they didn’t delete them anyway, they repurposed the business as a broker of biometric data to AI companies and they’re using your old pictures for that. You have to actually go in and delete your account to opt out, and you only have until Monday, July 22 to do it.

Once a year, in my mum's small town in Somerset (in the South West of England) they hold a graffiti/street art festival. I'm visiting for the weekend, and this is a new one I've not seen!

Question for my fellow #gophers :
Are you using JSON5 with #go? if yes, which package are you using for encoding/decoding?

#golang #json

TIL about bdtu: is a sampling disk usage profiler for btrfs. It works by randomly looking at data points on disk and figuring out to which file the data belongs. By repeating this over and over again, it gradually builds an accurate representation of disk usage (like du or ncdu).

Pretty neat!
